Be yourself some more
Window
shopping!...MMMM...we all know how pleasurable that can be… so last Saturday,
on the way back from my gym I had gone mall crawling with my GFs….we were at
this home improvement store, a place which we can never get tired of, really.
The home will forever have that one little thing it lacks… you know how it is.
So here I had spotted a nice bright cushion in one of the racks and as I
stretched to reach it on the top shelf, one of my friends just yanked my hand's
downs with a shocked look. ”Your bra is showing “She whispered gingerly as if
the alien hiding under my T- shirt was popping out. I glanced down and sure
enough, a little part of my sports bra cup was poking out through the armhole of my gym tanks! “I
am wearing a bra, and it might show here and there,….nothing to be worried
about “I shrugged and replied to my friend, who had a look of disbelief or
disgust I am not sure which.
Bra straps. Or any
other parts of a bra. To show or never to show… this is the point of contestation
here. The point to discuss is accidental display of any part of the said
garment and not a debate on how good will it look if worn ‘a la Superman’
Women empowerment and
trends often go hand in hand, with one of the most pertinent trend being a
revelation of bra straps. Our mothers, the very first teachers of femininity,
have doled out this sage advice- your bra straps should never show. It’s
unladylike and undermines the femininity. We believe her.
As we grow up we find
these fluorescent, lacy/bright colored bra straps and wonder why exactly are
they made so eye catching and pretty if they are condemned to be buried forever
under our blouses and never allowed even a peek of sunshine.
Femininity has a vast
body of exertion and showing bra straps doesn’t make us any less of a woman. In
fact, it is a subtle sign of confidence as lingerie is a part of our intimate
identity and when you are comfortable with yourself even when a tiny part of
your bra shows, you set out a message that you have a strong mind and cannot be
judged by the presence of a strap- exuding a fearless charm that is inimitable.
Showing strap can be
intentional as well in order to give a fun, risqué element to your outfit. Here
are a few fun ways show/strap it off:
Wear a sheer blouse
Sheer tops are the
on-trend darlings of this season and luckily, the perfect way to show off --
not just your straps, but your entire bra. While the brave can opt for a top
that is completely sheer, first-timers should choose one in a semi-sheer fabric
for an alluring look that isn't too revealing. Take care to choose a full coverage bra with a sheer top. One may even choose
some lace detailed Teddy under sheer clothes.
Try color contrast
A boat neck tee with a
wide neckline or an off-the-shoulder dress is the perfect attire to show off
your straps. A basic tank top with a bra in a contrasting color is the
perfect way to carry of a casually chic look. The eye-catching contrast becomes
a fabulous way to show off your straps.
Choose the perfect
straps
To put your straps on
display, make sure you are wearing the most eye-catching straps. Printed or
neon straps are apt for this- pair up. You may pair your basic black tank with
pretty green straps. This gives out an eye-catching appeal to a basic staple.
Make sure it fits
Confidence is the key
here- which can only come through a well-fitted bra. A properly-fitted bra can
improve your posture, make you look thinner, and help your clothes fit better.
If you have never had a professional bra fitting, get your perfect fit using
a bra size calculator.
Bralettes are your
best friend
There are moments when
you’d like to ditch your top- bralettes are your pals, then. The uniquely
pretty bras often double up as a top, providing coverage along with much-needed
sass. Choose bralettes with intricate front/back design- they are perfect for
flaunting a cheeky look.
Conclusion
Revealing your bra
strap is a good way to pep up your outfits- and have fun at it! So what are you
waiting for? Strap it out!
You have it, so it
will show. Let go of the fear, be yourself some more. You’ll love the feel.
Trust me
See you soon lovely
ladies.
